Chatty Maddy
Mar 14, 2007 Adoption
Journey to Mom said, “Just wondering if this is something girls are apt to come to earlier than boys. B is just not interested if we’re not talking about a monster truck, or some other thing on wheels.”
I think the biggest thing is that Madison is such a chatty girl and if something is in her brain, it’s coming out her mouth. Noah wasn’t like this and still isn’t. He’s much more private and he’ll mull over something for a long time before he’ll choose to share it. So I think part of Madison’s outgoing personality is that she’s pretty transparent.
If Noah were in the exact same open adoption situation, I can pretty much guarantee that he’d be way less talkative about it. And if I brought it up, he’d probably grunt then change the subject. He’s extremely protective of his privacy.

Is this the post, Dawn?
Seems like a blurb…and a response to a letter you received. What am I not seeing?

Alex’s favorite saying: I don’t want to talk about it.
As we say, she plays her cards close to the vest. So (like most stuff) not boy-specific, although IMHO boy-prevalent.

You know, in your copious spare time.

I read this when you posted, but didn’t have time to comment. My 2 cents:
I think being talkative and expressing one’s feelings doesn’t have much to do with gender, but probably has all to do with personality.
My two boys are extremely talkative and share what’s on their minds all the time. They also talked very early and have great vocabularies… (my husband and I were like that and actually when my husband was a wee tiny boy, he was “famous” for coming to his mom in the kitchen and asking her to sit down with him just because he wanted to “have a conversation”).

Ha, Phoebe, “I don’t want to talk about it” is something we’ve noticed B saying lately.
However, it is usually linked to inquiries regarding an error of ways.
Thanks Dawn! Sorry for the delayed response, we’ve been out of town. I appreciate the post.
